An enthusiastic reception was given
O'Brien Thursday night at Montreal by Irish,
French Canadians and other city organiza-
lions. The torch light procession through
the city was a brilliant feature OF the affair.
Depututions from Ottawa, Quebec, Kingston
and Hamilton were present. At least 5000
men carried torches as they filed past st. Law.
renee hall, on the balcony Of which O'Brien
stood. The streets were illuminated by cleo
trio lights and fireworks, and bunting and
flags foated from many buildings and cheers
rent the air. Spread out in front
OF the hall and IN the n~eighboring streets
were at least 80 900 people. Many cries of
"Down with Lansdownen were heard. O'Brien
said If Lansdowne witnessed this sight In the
principal city Of Canada he would recognize
the fact that his trouble In Canada was not
over, but only commencing, and challenged
Lansdowne TO step outside his little orange
preserve In Ontario and obtain one sp0ntane-
Gus demonstration of respect from end to end
of the dominion. At the subse quent banquet
C'Brien announced the close of his mission,
which he declared more successful than he
had hoped.

position In their power TO the sheriff and his
guard OF police and troops, and find various
means to seriously annoy the officers. In some
OF the houses from which the tenants were to

upon the eyicting force. AT two houses
where evictions were effected collisions oc-
CURED between the police and the people, and
a number OF arrests were made. At Tenant
Lyddy's house eviction was accomplished
after a severe struggle, after which the bail
life smashed the furniture out OF pure malice.
Michael Davitt was present, and by his exer-
tions prevented bloodshed. Tn troops aud
bailiffs then proceeded to the house Of Ten
ant Hussy, where they were received with a
shower OF boiling water, stones and bottles,
and q swarm OF bees let loose upon them.
The tenants only desisted from pelting the
bailiffs when the troops threatened to Are.
The bailiffs demolished the wall and entered
the house, and were repulsed bleeding. Evic-
ton was only effected after a struggle of two
hours and a half. The male defenders OF the
house were arrested. A meeting of tenants
was afterwards held, at which Michael Davitt
repeated the advice he gave them yesterday,
to resist eviction by every means, and defed
the government to arrest him.

TILE UNION PACIFIC.
Testimony Of Gen. Alexander, Formerly
a Government Director,

a Government Director,
BosToN, June 1.-Onicisl investigation into
the Union Pacific railroad affairs continued
this morning. Gen. Alexander, of Savannah,
testified that he was formerly a government
director In the Union Pacific railroad. He
was OF the opinion that the annual report of
the company WAS a fair basis TO work upon
regarding the earning power Of the road.
Concerning the relations Of branch lines to
the parent road he had concluded that the
branch earnings were about 50 per cent. OF
the net earnings Of the road. He said there
could be no question In the mind Of any rail-
road man who was familiar with the Union
Pacific railroad that the branch system OF
roads had been its salvation. The matter Of
adjusting rates between the branch and main
lines witness thought q difficult matter to
settle, and this, he said, needed experiment
Ing With before 1t could be satisfactorily de-
termined. From the manner In which the
matter o. constructive mileage was adjusted
throughout the country, he was Of the opin-
ion that II there was any discrimination It
was against the branches. Witness thought
the present situation damaging to the Union
Pacific and government and IT was for the in
terest OF both to adjust matters at once. The
first step is for the road to pay a certain fixed
sum per year, however small. Witness al
ways understood the road was willing to let
the government take everything they had as
security for Indebtedness. The company
could afford to pay about 81, S00,0 O0 at the
present time. The debt will amount to about
S53, 000, 000, including interest at 6 per cent.
Equal payments of 81, 800, 900 would pay of
the debt in about seventy years. 1t might be
possible to baye this payment gradually in
creased. IL the road should happen to fail in
its annual payments the government could
assume charge Of the road.
